Brewed this one and I'm currently serving it on nitro. This is a great session stout and I have not experienced the thinness others have referred to, which could be attributed to my doubling (2lbs) of the Cara-Pils.

Any particular advice for carbing this beer in a bottle (I have only kegged, force carb'd)? Mainly, with regards to me brewing this beer high gravity (I have a tendency to take things too far). Any advice for conditioning? Anyone brew this this with any other ale yeasts? Thanks, in advance!

First off, I dig this recipe, first time I made this I made it into a double batch. It's an awesome beer, real smooth Session Stout as everyone says and all of my buddies are nuts about it. You can definately have a few of these in one sitting. Now, I'm probably the millionth person to ask this but here I go anyway. I like to tinker with recipes, so any thoughts on parlaying this into an Oatmeal Stout. This is an awesome recipe as is but I was thinking of just adding a pound of oats (possibly toasted) to this recipe to give it a different spin. Maybe someone else has done it perhaps? Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions.

Just pitched the yeast on my 5th go around on this recipe. Hit 1.048 for 5.5 gallons in the fermentor! I only had 6 ounces of 500 SRM roasted barley. I dont think it will matter much. This is a perfect beer for a 1 liter mug!

I've never re-used yeast before, but I have a Centennial Blonde that will be finished in a couple days. I used Nottingham for that and I've seen a couple posts where people used it for this recipe. I did a search in the yeast forum and it looks like it is as simple as pouring the cooled stout wort on top of a portion of the yeast cake. Is it as simple as that?

Is Nottingham a good choice for this brew? Has anyone used both Notty and a different yeast and have any feedback on how each turned out?

Bottled three weeks and taste tested against Guinness export and a local (in Ireland) bottled stout (O'hara's) and this stout is definitely super nice even in comparison. Creamier, more rounded, more subtle flavours coming through

Update: Brewed this but ended up with a crazy low OG. (1.034) Not sure what happened but hoping that its still going to be good. I was going to throw some DME in the fermenter to bounce it up but can't get to any LHBS for it for 3 days at least and not sure if it will still work at that point. I guess I'll just enjoy a very low ABV cause my gravity sample tasted great.
